Registered Location

Latitude: 41° 9' 7" N (deg min sec), 41.1518° (decimal), 4109.11N (LORAN)
Longitude: 96° 3' 35" W (deg min sec), -96.0597° (decimal), 09603.58W (LORAN)
Elevation: 318 metres (1042 feet)
Location: Papillion, NE, US
County: Sarpy, NE
Forecast Office: Omaha (OAX)
Station type/software: PEET Ultimeter

The elevation does not correspond with the estimated elevation (333 metres (1092 feet) -- source NED Contiguous U. S. 1/3E arc second elevation data) at that point. Either the location or the elevation (or both) are almost certain to be incorrect. Please use the 'send the updated information' link below to update the location or elevation.

The site location should be at the mark shown -- or very close. Clicking within the map area (or you can drag the 'AJ0A' marker) will display the latitude/longitude of that point.

If the displayed location (or elevation) of the weather observing location is incorrect, please drag the marker to the right location (or click in the right location), and then send the updated information. Please note that we are trying to spot either the Stevenson Screen (or equivalent) or the location where the barometric readings are taken.

The best way to get elevation is to consult a topographic map. Make sure that you know whether the contours are marked in feet or metres. Note that handheld GPS receivers do not provide readings of elevation accurate to better than 10-20 metres (technical discussion). If you do not have access to a topographic map, then a GPS receiver is acceptable, but make sure that it is operating in 3D mode and let it average the position for at least five minutes.

For more information on reading maps, please see the Topo Map Reading Guide -- in particular it discusses how to read contours.

NOTE: The Registered Location is the location that the station owner provided when they signed up with CWOP.

Data Status

Over the last 14 days, no data was seen on the following dates: 2024-03-15 to 2024-03-22, 2024-03-24 to 2024-03-26.

A reasonably recent weather report (109 days ago) received from this station was
AJ0A>APRS,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1,qAR,N0YXV:$ULTW006900EB0154374327A50018A13B0001----015601BD0000001E

All the means and standard deviations shown below are from the last 14 days. Change analysis period to Last 3 days  Last 7 days  Last 4 weeks  Last 8 weeks  Last 13 weeks  Last 26 weeks  Last 39 weeks  Last 52 weeks  

The inconsistency noted above in your location information means that the analyzed readings for your location may be incorrect. For example, if your location is incorrect, then the analysis values will be for a location other than your station. This will give different analysis results, probably leading to errors being shown below. If the elevation is incorrect, then the comparison of temperature readings will be in error.

Neighboring Stations

This is a list of stations that are close to this station. You can look at those for comparison purposes. The average difference between your station and each station below is listed as well. This may allow you to detect local stations which are erroneous. You can also use these numbers to adjust your instruments -- especially if a number of ASOS stations have similar differences to your station. Also, try increasing the analysis period to more than the default 28 days. The difference is only given if both stations report reasonably often during each day. Some stations only report every 6 hours, and this makes the average of less interest. In this case, the average is not displayed. The values reported are the differences between this station and the neighboring station. I.e. if the difference is positive, then this station is reading higher than the neighboring station. Since this station has not been reporting continuously during the analysis period (it missed 11 days out of 14), the offsets below may not be accurate.
